Are you considering divorce?

Ending a marriage is complicated, and there are many matters that must be addressed before the process is complete. If you are going through divorce, we can help you understand your options and help you choose the right path for your family. If you and your spouse are pursuing an
uncontested divorce, we can work with you to create a fair divorce agreement so that you can avoid having to go to court. In situations that involve only one spouse who wishes to end the marriage, the proceedings are often highly emotional and volatile, and it is important to have a knowledgeable attorney on your side if you are going through a
contested divorce.

As of October 12, 2010, married couples in in the state of New York may now file for divorce on a no-fault basis, a long overdue change that finally offers spouses a way to end their marriage without resorting to false accusations or long waiting periods under a separation agreement. A spouse may now file for no-fault divorce on the grounds that the marriage has been irretrievably broken for at least 6 months; you do not have to find a way to prove that the breakdown of the relationship is your spouse’s fault, which helps avoid some unnecessary contention. Changes were also made in regard to temporary maintenance, child support modifications and the payment of attorney fees in a divorce.

Should you choose to work with our legal team, you will be able to breathe easier knowing that you will have an experienced attorney on your side that is both fully able and prepared to help you move through your divorce. From issues with marital property (such as
property division and
asset division) to
alimony,
separation agreements and
pre/post nuptial agreements, you can be confident knowing that we will be by your side every step of the way to protect your rights and help make the process as effective and painless as possible. Our firm will work adamantly to ensure your voice is heard at every stage of your proceedings, and you can trust that we will always fight for your best interests.

Children & Family Law in Long Island

We know that few cases are more significant or delicate than those that involve children, and our attorneys can provide you with strategic and comprehensive representation if you are in the midst of a dispute over the care of your children. Our team can advocate on your behalf before the judge during your custody or
child support hearings, and we will relentlessly seek to protect your relationship with your children. We can help you pursue more frequent
visitation with your little ones, and assist you through the proper steps of
relocation if you would like to move away to provide your children with a better life.

Our firm understands the frustration you feel when you are not given adequate time to spend with your children, which is why we offer aggressive advocacy for fathers' rights. Similarly, after divorce or other breakups, grandparents are often kept from their grandchildren out of spite, and if this is your situation, it is important to understand your
grandparent's rights. We can assist you in filing for visitation, and if the court grants you time with your grandchildren, you will have legally enforceable rights that help you protect your precious relationship with them.
